I hate the term "unelected"

I hate the term "unelected" when used to criticize particular persons in leadership positions, and supra-national institutions - such as the United Nations, the European Union, or NGOs. 


The reason I hate "unelected" used thus; is that it implies persons and institutions who have-been elected - presumably by mass voting - are better than those who aren't. 

When in reality voting is intrinsically evil...


And in our totalitarian world; we ought to know that large, wealthy, powerful people, organizations, corporations, governments -  are qualitatively all on the same side and as bad as each other.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Studies have shown that the overwhelming majority of people see voting as good, and that's good enough for me.

@Wm - In that case, I must be wrong: I withdraw my comment...
